Mexico City is sinking at such a rapid pace that satellite data from NASA has captured the movement from space, revealing land subsidence of up to 0.8 inches a month in some areas. The phenomenon is now placing critical infrastructure, including the city's main airport, under strain while deepening concerns over a worsening water crisis affecting more than 22 million residents.
Scientists say the scale of ground collapse, driven largely by decades of groundwater depletion, makes Mexico City one of the fastest-sinking major cities in the world.
